Your well pump repair questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does it cost to repair a well pump near me?

Well pump repairs cost $150 to $600, depending on the problem and the type of pump. Common repairs include replacing the pressure switch, pump motor, internal pump valves and bearings, or submersible electric cable.

A well pump inspection costs $250 to $550. Having the pump and tank inspected annually will ensure small problems are spotted quickly before they become larger and more costly issues.

Does homeowners insurance cover well pump repair?

Homeowners insurance policies typically only cover well pump repairs if the breakdown was caused by a natural disaster, such as a fire or tornado. Standard policies do not cover repairs for normal wear and tear.

Some insurance companies offer an add-on policy for an extra cost to cover repairs for the well pump and tank, HVAC system, or other major systems.

Who should I call for well pump repair?

Hire a specialty well service company instead of a general plumber to repair your well pump. While a general plumber can repair the pipes connecting your well, a well service technician has the experience and training to diagnose the current problem and to spot other issues that could grow into larger problems if left unaddressed.

How do you know if your well pump is bad?

Well systems have two main components—a well pump and a pressure tank—and either component can go bad. The signs listed below often indicate problems with the pump, but they could also indicate a tank failure instead. Have a professional check the tank first because fixing it costs less than pulling the pump out of the ground to inspect it for problems.

Look for these signs your well pump or tank needs repair:

  • Low or no water pressure in the home
  • Dirty or cloudy water
  • Water that smells like rotten eggs
  • Metallic tasting water
  • Air spurts from the faucets
  • Water is colored or leaves dark stains on fixtures
  • Pump runs constantly
  • Pump makes odd noises

How can I choose the right well pump repair service?

When searching for a company to repair your well pump, look for pros who specialize in well service rather than general plumbing. Then, follow these tips to find the best well pump repair service near you:

  • Read their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Request a diagnosis of the problem before signing a contract.
  • Confirm the pro is familiar with your well pump brand and model.
  • Hire a licensed, bonded, insured company that has been in business 5+ years.
  • Get a detailed, itemized contract in writing before the project begins.
  • Don't pay in full before the work is complete.

What questions should I ask well pump service companies?

Ask these questions to help you find the best pro for the job:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
  • Do you have experience working with my well pump brand and model?
  • Do you charge a fee to diagnose the problem?
  • What does the repair estimate include?
  • What additional costs might come up?
  • How long will the repair take?
  • Do you offer a warranty on the repair?
